Gao Gong sighed in his heart, knowing that he should not think about the holy cut in the future, Emperor Longqing would not be a holy judge at all, and he would still throw the cabinet when the time came, and he would still have to fight with Xu Jie. You have to increase your strength. Seeing the situation of today's 28th open, Gao Gong's heart is more urgent. So he immediately spoke:

"The Ministry of Rites presents the Prince's Ceremony Note, please Your Majesty to read it."

Emperor Longqing immediately lost his sleepiness and became energetic.

"The prince is the foundation of the country, and it should be established as soon as possible. This is a matter of the highest priority and must be handled solemnly. Tell the nations and ask them to send envoys to observe the ceremony.

In short, this matter must be done well. If you have anything to add, just say it. ”

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong immediately said: "You can do your best in all aspects, but the official who presides over the ceremony should be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but the original secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Yan Na, has entered the cabinet, and now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is vacant, and it can only be done by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which is a little inappropriate." ”

Emperor Longqing looked stunned, and at this time he finally remembered that he had promised to promote Luo Xin to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. But I forgot about it.

This seems to be a little sorry for Master Luo!

hurriedly gave Luo Xin an apologetic look, and then said loudly: "Master Luo is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he will be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." ”

Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this unreliable emperor finally remembered to promote himself......

Although he felt that Emperor Longqing was unreliable, and he also looked forward to this Ministry of Rites in his heart, according to the rules of officialdom, Luo Xin could not immediately thank him and express his willingness to serve as the Secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Be humble! Be reserved!

Therefore, Luo Xin came out and said: "Weichen is afraid, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and he will not dare to obey the holy order." ”

Emperor Longqing naturally knew about this procedure, so he wanted to persuade him. Gao Gong said with a smile on his face:

"Your Majesty, this Ministry of Rites is one of the Nine Qings, and it should be promoted by the court as a rule."

Emperor Longqing, who was sorry for Luo Xin, reacted at this time, and hurriedly said: "It's my negligence, so let's push it now." ”

"Your Majesty!" Xu Jie opened his mouth at this time: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu is one of the Nine Qings, and the matter is important. Court push is a heavy ceremony of the imperial court and should be carried out in accordance with the rules. Please ask Your Majesty to set a date, and then gather all the officials above the third rank, and Your Majesty will also recuse himself. ”

Emperor Longqing was not too clear about these rules, so he looked at Gao Gong and nodded his head. Emperor Longqing said:

"Master Gao, what are you looking for on a good day?"

Gao Gong didn't give Xu Jie a chance to speak, and immediately replied: "The book of the Ministry of Rites can't be hung in vain, and it needs to preside over the ceremony of establishing the reserve, it should be sooner rather than later, just after the morning dynasty today." ”

Xu Jie's lips moved, and finally he didn't speak, he knew in his heart that this matter couldn't be stopped. From the moment Yan Na was promoted to the cabinet and let Luo Xin preside over the new emperor's accession to the throne, Xu Jie knew that this was Emperor Longqing making room for Luo Xin. If he dares to stop it, he will be evil to Emperor Longqing.

Now he does not have the strength to override Emperor Longqing, but Emperor Longqing has the strength to depose him. So, since you can't stop it, don't show your malice.

Luo Xin was indifferent, he knew that this matter had been completed.

Don't look at the time when Gao Gong and Xu Jie's rivalry, there were only two percent of supporters, as if Xu Jie's eight percent of supporters.

Not at all.

That's because Gao Gong proposed to popularize the ten taxes and one tax, challenging all officials, that is, Gao Party members, had to give up economic interests to support him for political interests. Those centrists, the soy sauce party, all supported Xu Jie's in this matter and temporarily allied with Xu Jie. However, this does not mean that they have joined the Xu Party.

They are still waiting, and there are definitely quite a few officials on the sidelines.

Xu Jie's betrayal of Emperor Longqing made the centrists and the Soy Sauce Party very cautious about joining the Xu Party. And Gao Gong's background and character also made the centrists and soy sauce parties very cautious about Gao Gong. This caused Xu Jie, whether it was a high arch, to be far from controlling the court.

Xu Jie was able to occupy some advantages, probably occupying thirty percent of the strength of these officials in the Qianqing Palace, Gao Gong was only two percent, and the remaining fifty percent were centrists and soy sauce parties.

And since Luo Xin came as an official, he has been fighting in the east and west, in exchange for a peaceful life for the Ming Dynasty. Establish mutual markets and market divisions to exchange a rich life for everyone. It can be said that the officials in the DPRK must recognize Luo Xin's favor. And when Luo Xin was in the capital, he was very low-key and friendly, and those centrists and soy sauce parties, although they thought that Luo Xin was still weak and would not defect to him, but they undoubtedly had a good impression of Luo Xin.

In particular, Emperor Jiajing put dozens of officials in prison, Luo Xin tried every means to rescue those officials, and was also put in prison by Emperor Jiajing for this matter, which made these officials have a better impression of Luo Xin. Therefore, these fifty percent of centrists and soy sauce parties will definitely vote in favor.

And the matter of promoting Luo Xin to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was proposed by Gao Gong, and the two percent of the Gao Party will definitely support Luo Xin, so the three percent of Xu Jie's are no longer important.

This is the reason why Luo Xin is calm.

"Quasi-play!" Emperor Longqing stood up directly and said: "Let's get here this morning, the most important thing now is the court push, everything will be said tomorrow morning." ”

When the words fell, Emperor Longqing left, leaving behind the ministers who looked at each other.

Luo Xin looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and his mouth and heart stood there. Gao Gong just wanted to speak, but Xu Jie preemptively spoke:

"Now let's start the court."

Gao Gong was very dissatisfied with Xu Jie's words, but this was a court push for Luo Xin, and he didn't want to be sidelined, so he simply kept silent. On the contrary, the corners of Luo Xin's mouth curled, showing a hint of sarcasm.

Xu Jie stood up first, and Luo Xin heard that tone at once, this was to tell the officials of the Xu Party to vote for Luo Xin. Since it can't be stopped, release goodwill to Luo Xin, on the one hand, you can win Luo Xin's goodwill, even if you can't win it, you can paralyze Luo Xin. On the other hand, it is possible to separate the relationship between Luo Xin and Gao Gong. If all the people in the Xu Party voted in favor and were not broad-minded enough, would they suspect that Luo Xin and Xu Jie had a deal in private?

This is the effect that Xu Jie expects, turning an unfavorable situation into a favorable one.

Scheming, cunning.

The result of the vote was indeed expected by Luo Xin, but it was not expected by the hundred officials.

Luo Xin expected that he had a good chance of being unanimously approved, and in fact it was unanimously approved.

No one objected, and no one abstained.

This situation has never arisen, because when a person is promoted to a certain level, there must be political enemies, and it is impossible to pass it unanimously.
